Time fast running out for Gretna
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 threat of extinction still hung over Gretna last night as the club's administrator explored ways to put together a team for tomorrow's Scottish Premier League game at Aberdeen, and buy time to find a way to avoid folding.
With postponement effectively signalling the club was finished, if Gretna can fulfil the fixture, either by persuading senior players to play knowing they will not be paid or by fielding juniors, then the administrator, David Elliot, might have time for talks with prospective buyers.
"As of today, we do not have a team that we can put out on Saturday," Elliot said. "I am being dragged, kicking and screaming, to the death throes of this club."
