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.

Martin O'Neill, the Celtic manager, will again be able to call on Neil Lennon for tomorrow's tricky Scottish Premier League trip to Aberdeen after suspension.

Martin O'Neill, the Celtic manager, will again be able to call on Neil Lennon for tomorrow's tricky Scottish Premier League trip to Aberdeen after suspension.

The midfielder returns after missing the Scottish Cup victory over Rangers last weekend but O'Neill still has a selection problem to consider.

Alan Thompson is suspended while Stanislav Varga, Didier Agathé, Jackie McNamara and Bobo Balde have been struggling with various injuries this week and he will delay deciding his side until the last minute.

Rangers, whose attempts at bringing Barry Ferguson back to the club from Blackburn may depend on Birmingham's Robbie Savage completing his move to Ewood Park, will be without striker Shota Arveladze because of a calf injury for the visit of Dunfermline today.

Chris Burke rejoins the squad, however, following illness and Peter Lovenkrands is also back in the reckoning despite a thigh problem. Thomas Buffel, their new £2.5m signing from Feyenoord, could make his first start.
