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.Roy Aitken, the Aberdeen manager, has urged his players not to give up their battle for survival, even though the Dons could reach the point of no return today when they face Hearts at Tynecastle.
Victories for Dundee United at home to Hibernian and Partick Thistle at Kilmarnock, plus an Aberdeen defeat, will condemn the Pittodrie club to the first-ever relegation in their history. "I feel it will go to the last game - but only if we start getting victories," Aitken said.
At Brockville, Falkirk entertain Celtic in the quest for a Uefa Cup place. The Bairns are one point behind Motherwell, and Celtic must hope that Paul McStay, Pierre Van Hooijdonk and Tosh McKinlay are able to return after missing the 1-0 defeat by Hearts 10 days ago.
Partick Thistle have suspension worries as Wayne Foster completes a three- match ban while Gregg Watson and Rod McDonald are out for one match.
At Ibrox, Rangers entertain a Motherwell side still leading the chase for second place. But the home fans will not see the championship trophy presented - that will happen on 13 May, the last day of the season.
