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.ST JOHNSTONE travel to Motherwell today knowing that anything less than victory will consign them to the First Division next season. They also need one of the three teams above them - Heart of Midlothian, Partick Thistle or Kilmarnock - to slip up.
Paul Cherry, the Saints' midfield player, is available again, while Motherwell, who are seeking second place, will be without the suspended Miodrag Krivokapic and the injured Phil O'Donnell.
Kilmarnock are hoping that their wily striker, Bobby Williamson, will recover from a knock on the knee for their game against Hibernian at Easter Road. Their player-manager, Tommy Burns, is likely to put his faith in experience by playing himself and his assistant, Billy Stark.
At Firhill, one point for Partick and Hearts would see them safe, with Thistle reporting almost a full squad, although there is a slight doubt about the midfielder, Alex Taylor. Gary Mackay is free of suspension for Hearts, although Neil Berry is a doubt. Both managers have indicated they will go for a win, and have denied suggestions that they will be happy to settle for a tame draw.
At Ibrox, Rangers will be in party mood to celebrate their sixth consecutive title. The trophy will be presented after the game against Dundee.
