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.

Kenny Miller will become the third player to feature for both Rangers and Celtic in the post-war era when he completes his move to Parkhead in the summer. The former Ibrox striker has negotiated a pre-contract agreement with Celtic and will join when his contract with Wolves expires.

"It is a tremendous honour to have signed for a club of Celtic's stature," Miller said. "I was fortunate enough to have a number of options, however, when Celtic made their interest known, this was where I wanted to play."

Miller held talks yesterday and jumped at the chance to cross the Glasgow divide. Rangers had also considered bringing the player back to Ibrox.

Alfie Conn played for Rangers then Celtic, via Tottenham, in the 1970s and his fellow forward Mo Johnston, more controversially, joined Rangers in 1989 from Nantes after publicly saying he was looking forward to a second spell with Celtic.

"Kenny is a quality player and I am delighted to have secured his signing," the Celtic manager, Gordon Strachan, said.
