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 Italian defender Enrico Annoni is due for his first taste of Old Firm rivalry when Celtic entertain Rangers tonight to contest a place in the last four of the Tennents Scottish Cup.
Tom Boyd starts a three-match suspension so Annoni, signed from Roma last month, should play. Paul McStay and Peter Grant are in contention for recalls by Celtic but Tommy Burns, their manager, might be tempted to stay loyal to the side who beat Hearts on Saturday. Pierre van Hooijdonk may have to remain on the bench.
Rangers are definitely without Stuart McCall and Sebastian Rozental, who are both out for the rest of the season, while Paul Gascoigne is still absent because of his ankle injury. Derek McInnes is also out.
The Rangers captain, Richard Gough, just two months away from his Ibrox farewell, is struggling with a calf strain and will be given a fitness test today, along with Gordon Durie.
