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.Rangers, who maintained their two-point lead at the top of the Scottish Premier Division with a 3-0 win in the match against Heart of Midlothian in which four of the opposition were sent off, have received a boost for their Champions' League match against Auxerre at Ibrox on Wednesday week.
The French side will be without their central defensive pairing of Ned Zelic and Franck Silvestre. Zelic, an Australian, suffered knee ligament damage in Saturday's 0-0 draw with Nancy, leaving him on the sidelines with Silvestre, who has had a metal plate inserted in a shoulder. Rangers need to beat the French champions after the home defeat by Grasshoppers.
In the League, Celtic remained in touch with their great rivals only after an injury-time goal by Malky MacKay gave them a 2-1 win over Dundee United. Aberdeen stay third after a 3-0 win over Kilmarnock.
Ray Wilkins and Chris Waddle both experienced victory on a day they made their debut for Hearts and Falkirk. Wilkins helped his side to a 1-0 win over Raith Rovers on his 40th birthday in the first of his scheduled four games at the Edinburgh club while Waddle scored to help Falkirk beat Clydebank 2-0 in the First Division.
Waddle weighed in with his side's second goal before 3,701 fans at Brockville. The former Sheffield Wednesday winger, who has signed on a month-to-month basis, said: "The pitch was a great leveller, but it was a rare treat to score on a debut. There's a lot more to come as that's my first game since May."
