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.JIMMY NICHOLL, the player- manager of Raith Rovers, revelled in the atmosphere at Stark's Park on Saturday, writes David McKinney. His side not only won promotion to the top league for the first time in 23 years but also won the First Division title with a 2-0 win over Dumbarton.
However, the former Manchester United and Rangers defender might have little time to enjoy the fruits of his labours as envious eyes have been monitoring the two years he has been at Rovers and it is possible he will be on the move before the start of next season. Dundee United are reported to be interested in him and he is currently involved with the Northern Ireland side.
Saturday started a party which will last until August thanks to two Craig Brewster goals and no one was overly bothered about a Gordon Dalziel penalty miss except perhaps the player himself.
Rangers continued towards the Premier Division title with a 1-0 win over Motherwell with a late goal from John Brown. The Ibrox club have been credited with a continuing interest in Duncan Ferguson, the Dundee United striker, as is Ron Atkinson at Aston Villa.
