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.

Celtic will play AC Milan in the Europa League group stage.

The Bhoys will also play Sparta Prague and  Lille in Group H.

The sides last played against each other in 2013, when the Rossoneri won 3-0.

Goals that night, in the Champions League, came from Kaka, Cristian Zapata and Mario Balotelli.

Neil Lennon's side exited the competition at the round of 32 last season - after dropping down after failing to progress from the third qualifying round of the Champions League.

They topped their group against Cluj, Lazio and Rennes, before a 4-2 aggregate defeat to Copenhagen in the knock-out stages.
