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.

LOU MACARI, the Celtic manager, yesterday admitted his players seem to have lost belief in themselves. Despite some moderate performances since Macari took charge, Celtic are just two points adrift of Rangers, the Premier Division leaders, as they go into today's game with Dundee at Dens Park.

Frank McAvennie may start his first game since September because Charlie Nicholas is ill and Paul Byrne has suffered a recurrence of a knee problem. Dundee, five points behind second-bottom Raith, are involved in negotiations with Bradford City's 32-year-old centre-back, Noel Blake, and he could make his debut against Celtic.

Rangers, unbeaten in eight, take on in-form Dundee United at Ibrox with Richard Gough poised to return after a two-game absence.
