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.

Football

Mel Gibson probably started it. All those brave Scots winning things left, right and centre-forward in Braveheart while attired in natty outfits was a cinematic success equal to a good run in Europe.

Yesterday Celtic followed suit by launching a new piece of club kit fit to grace any Old Firm derby. The more sartorial or clannish fan, depending on your point of view, can now add to his scarf, bob hat and replica shirt...the Parkhead tartan.

It will be used in kilts for women and men, full Highland dress and scarves. The tartan replaces an earlier design, but don't hurry to the club shop because it will be available only through Geoffrey (Tailor) Highland Crafts in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Galashiels. However, selected stores in America will be able to supply Gibson should he desire one for his next epic of the glens.
