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.The American businessman Bill Miller yesterday withdrew his bid for Rangers. Miller was named preferred bidder by the club's administrators, Duff and Phelps, last Thursday, over an offer from the Blue Knights and Brian Kennedy.
Duff and Phelps later confirmed that other bidders had expressed an interest. David Whitehouse, joint administrator, said: "Three other bidders have come forward to express their interest in buying the club and these offers are being evaluated with the utmost urgency."
In a statement, Miller said: "As soon as I was announced as preferred bidder for Rangers, my team began to press ahead with our due diligence. In addition, I had preliminary discussions with the Scottish footballing authorities and limited discussions with [manager] Ally McCoist.
"Having no intention of negatively affecting the potential outcome of the club's future and after hearing the message from Rangers supporters and fans loud and clear ("Yank go home!"), I notified the administrators today that I have withdrawn my bid."
