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.

Celtic came from a goal down to beat Kilmarnock 2-1 yesterday and complete a hat-trick of wins in their first three Scottish Premier League games of the new season.

Celtic came from a goal down to beat Kilmarnock 2-1 yesterday and complete a hat-trick of wins in their first three Scottish Premier League games of the new season.

Celtic were trailing to a 17th-minute goal from Kilmarnock's Andy McLaren at Parkhead before Sweden's Henrik Larsson, who also scored in Celtic's opening-day win over Dundee United two weeks ago, levelled in the 50th minute.

The English striker Tommy Johnson hit the winner for Celtic in the 72nd minute to maintain a 100 per cent record for Martin O'Neill's side. Kilmarnock had Martin Baker sent off in the 89th minute.

Aberdeen made a flying start at home to Hearts, with Derek Young putting them ahead after three minutes, but Gary McSwegan levelled for the Edinburgh club on the half-hour to earn a 1-1 draw.

On Saturday Dundee, who had led the league after two games, were thrashed 5-1 at Hibernian and had two players sent off.
