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.

Paul Sturrock, the St Johnstone manager, was able to go home yesterday after spending the night in a Dundee coronary care unit, writes David McKinney.

Sturrock was rushed to hospital on Saturday after collapsing in the Tannadice dug-out with chest pains as he watched his side lose 2-1 to his former team, Dundee United. Doctors were able to tell him he had not suffered a heart attack.

This week Scotland's three European representatives face difficult matches with Rangers (4-0 winners at Partick) travelling to Turin for a Champions' League match against Juventus. "Rangers are missing certain elements and that should make it easy for Juve," the former Juventus player, Roberto Baggio, has said.

Those missing elements include Paul Gascoigne, Alan McLaren, Ian Ferguson and Brian Laudrup, while Oleg Salenko is struggling to overcome a thigh injury.

Celtic again demonstrated a lack of cutting edge in their 2-2 draw with Hibernian, prior to Thursday's Cup-Winners' Cup tie against Paris St-Germain. While the minds of Raith had evidently drifted towards tomorrow's Uefa Cup visit of Bayern Munich, Jurgen Klinsmann et al as they fell to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of Hearts.
