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.

Michael Ball will make a rare start for Rangers against Hearts at Ibrox on Sunday.

Gregory Vignal (groin) Paolo Vanoli (calf) are out so Ball will play only his fourth game of the season.

Striker Steven Thompson is still sidelined by an ankle injury and several players have also been laid low by a stomach bug but midfielder Alex Rae is back from suspension.

Provisional squad: Klos, Khizanishvili, Boumsong, Andrews, Ball, Namouchi, Ricksen, Alex Rae, Malcolm, Lovenkrands, Arveladze, Prso, Novo, Smith, Mladenovic, Hutton, Ross, Hughes, Burke, MacKenzie, McCormack.
