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 Airdrie manager, Alex MacDonald, swooped for his former Hearts player, John Colquhoun, last night when he agreed a fee with the Tynecastle club which may not amount to very much - since the Diamonds have yet to be fully paid for Alan Lawrence.

When Lawrence moved to Hearts in the summer, Airdrie were given the chance to take one of their men in exchange later and Colquhoun is the choice. However, Colquhoun has still to be persuaded that the time is right to drop out of the top flight.

Tommy Burns, the Celtic manager, searching for crumbs of comfort after his side's 3-0 home defeat by Paris St Germain in the Cup-Winners' Cup on Thursday, said: "I feel we have been playing well in our recent domestic games. Against Hibs, Kilmarnock and Aberdeen in our last three games we've arguably been as far ahead of them as PSG were ahead of us." Celtic visit Motherwell today.
