Stupidly ignore old punter (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gondolier

'punter' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'stupidly ignore old' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' indicates anagramming the letters (a stupid ordering of the letters).
'ignore'+'old'='ignoreold'
'ignoreold' with letters rearranged gives 'GONDOLIER'.

(Other definitions for gondolier that I've seen before include "Propeller of Venetian boat" , "Venetian boatman" , "Punter" , "Singular SO" , "Venetian waterman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
