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.

Walter Smith, the Rangers, manager facing an ever-lengthening casualty list, yesterday ruled out a return to Ibrox for the 31-year-old Hearts striker Maurice Johnston.

The Scottish champions, who were held to a 1-1 draw at bottom of the table Partick last week will seek to potect their 11-match unbeaten run at Falkirk today without Mark Hateley, Ally McCoist, Andy Goram, Basile Boli and Richard Gough while Gordon Durieis starting a two-match suspension.

Meanwhile Celtic, who have struggled at their temporary home recording just three Premier wins at Hampden Park all season, have been hit by a flu virus, with six players ruled out of today's game against Kilmarnock.

Aberdeen, though, are expected to welcome back Scotland international Eoin Jess for their home match against Partick.
