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.

ALLY McCOIST and Duncan Ferguson, the Rangers strikers, will step up their comebacks from injury at Ibrox today. McCoist, who has started six games in 10 months due to two major injuries, resumes his partnership with Mark Hateley as Rangers face Alloa in the fourth round of the Tennents Scottish Cup.

Ferguson, who cost more than pounds 4m from Dundee United last summer but has not played first-team football since September, is almost certain to be on the bench. Walter Smith, the Rangers manager, has recalled McCoist after Gordon Durie failed a fitness test. 'He's coming back at an important time and it's good to see him back. He is looking sharp,' Smith said of McCoist.
