Yes that is correct. 3 letter word for "managed" plus 3 letter word for "perish" reversed inside a 2 letter word for "lava".

Ta. I think I've finally beaten it into submission :)

I found this agreeably challenging and entertaining. Mr Magoo and CheeseCracker have got 2024 off to a good start. Here's hoping Doc - for I presume it will be he - can keep the standard up next week.

Late as usual.....
Just missing 24 across whichI guess is a Scottish word.
I have K as second letter

clue is
Extremely sick and unwell, dispersing in Glasgow? (8)

Extremely sick gives the first two letters. unwell gives the rest...
Yes, a good Scottish word.

Thanks Malone. My error was in 7d which I have now corrected. ! M changed to L
All done now

Thanks, jazzgirl - and glad you're all done.

I omitted to thank Cheesecracker for an excellent puzzle.
