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.Richard Scudamore claims there is no chance of the Old Firm joining the Barclays Premier League.
Both Celtic and Rangers are desperate to quit Scottish football, with England their preferred destination.
But Premier League chief executive Scudamore cannot see his organisation's 20 member club voting to let them in.
Scudamore also revealed he was personally against the Old Firm - who have also been linked with an Atlantic league - leaving Scotland.
Speaking on last night's ESPN programme 'Between The Lines', he said: "I don't think it's a serious proposition for a whole number of reasons.
"Scottish football is Scottish football. For a traditionalist like me, that's where the Old Firm should play."
He added: "I see the benefits for Celtic and Rangers if they moved to our Premier League but I don't think our 20 clubs are going to vote to allow these clubs into our league."
