Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Celtic manager Tommy Burns, yesterday applauded the achievements of his former team-mate, Roy Aitken, at Aberdeen this season prior to today's meeting at Parkhead.

The Dons reached their first final in three seasons on Tuesday when they beat Rangers in the Coca-Cola Cup semi-finals. "I have nothing but admiration for the job which Roy and Tommy Craig are doing," said Burns, who was Aitken's colleague at Parkhead in the 1980s. Roy took over at a very difficult time, but I didn't have any doubts at all that he would turn it around."
