Match official: Allard Lindhout (Netherlands) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and historical connections. The these sides have a unique relationship, also meeting in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European stage in a short period." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under English manager Bob Houghton. The current fixture is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The general expectation is on the English side tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the middle of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any hope of making a recovery for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and Feyenoord v Celtic.
