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.

Chris Sutton could join the Celtic squad for today's match against Inverness Caledonian Thistle at Parkhead as they attempt to pull further away from Rangers, who play tomorrow.

The striker has been out of action with a shoulder injury since the defeat to Aberdeen on 27 October but has returned to training. Celtic will be without Craig Beattie, who has an ankle injury, and other players are struggling to be fit, including midfielder Stilian Petrov, who has shoulder trouble.

Steven Thompson will not be available to Rangers as they continue their pursuit of Celtic buoyed, by their midweek victory over their rivals in the League Cup.

The striker has been ruled out of the game against Hibernian with an ankle injury. Alex Rae made his comeback against Celtic following a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a torn calf, but he could be rested. Dado Prso was thrown into the game in place of the injured Thompson, despite recently suffering a knock to the face, and came through the Cup tie unscathed.

Celtic lead Rangers by four points in the annual two-horse title race.
