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 Celtic manager Martin O'Neill admits that following the recent internationals he has "one or two problems" ahead of his side's visit to Dundee tomorrow.
Joos Valgaeren tweaked his medial knee ligaments during Belgium's game against Croatia last week, and it is not certain the defender will be able to play at Dens Park. The same goes for the Scotland goalkeeper Rob Douglas. He was forced to pull out of Wednesday's Euro 2004 qualifier against Lithuania after picking up a slight thigh strain against Iceland.
Rangers, who entertain Partick Thistle today, have Barry Ferguson, Lorenzo Amoruso and Kevin Muscat suspended and Arthur Numan (knee) and Jerome Bonnissel (hamstring) still out with injury. But Steven Thompson, Shota Arveladze, Michael Mols and Neil McCann are all fit.
Thistle will be without the suspended Martin Hardie and Ian Ross, who has a hamstring problem.
