Morning!

Struggling with the right hand side of the grid. There are 3 types of clues:

normal;
two consecutive letters to be removed from cryptic element before solving, leaving real words in clues; and
single letter misprints in definitions, to be corrected before solving.

Any help with:

21 d. Engineers turning up with contract to cover North Riding (8).
???R???? ;

8 d. Extract from the Devil's Daughter further down (5) ?D??? ; and

24 a. Saint Mark buried in Spring (5).
?K??? ;

would be very much appreciated.

8d Educe (extract) = Deuce (devil) with the D for daughter further down the word

Many thanks JJ, appreciated
24a SKIMP. Skip = spring, with M = mark inside. Definition is Stint not saint
21d Emerging
REMEMBER (engineers) reversed, plus N (North) inside GIG (contract). Rising is the misprinted definition.
REME! Blasted autocorrect!

Many thanks indeed Gojira and Scrunge. I'm just back ftom the spermarket, so the crossword, psrticularly with your kind help, will feel relativrly more pleasurable now!
21 is EMERGENT, contract = 'get' (the flu) although I can see the 'gig' possibility.

Thanks Professor Masie. And apologies to all, for my previous comment typos, as I'm definitely not back from the 'sperm'market!
My first day posting on this site.
Struggling to finish this one, so after a help with 3d Family crest found on early wand (6) I have MO??O?
33a Boxing Day's rough (6)
39a Flyers promoting the King of stallions (7) ?N?R???
3d is a 'wInd' - 'family crest' is MON and 'early' is...
33a - something 'boRing' is D????Y (a 5 letter word for 'rough' after D[ay]).
39a an obscure def for stallions = 'entires' and you'll get 'fOyers' by moving the R(king) to a different part of the word.
Thank you Prof Maisie. Nearly there now. 23d is resistant and 13a despite having four of the five letters.
This thread has moved to the second page so I did not notice it.
23d is old giants.
13a Sh + hand probably. Typo in last word.
