Trail the convict (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lag

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'trail' is the first definition.
(both can mean to go behind)

'the convict' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for lag that I've seen before include "Dawdle" , "habitual criminal?" , "Drop behind" , "trail" , "Fall behind on march" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
