Match official: The Dutch referee (Netherlands) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and memories of 1979. The both teams have a historical link, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that connects these teams, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "The legendary management duo, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," commented the writer. Theirs has been an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to continental competition in a short period." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a very different to that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the midpoint of the league phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a knockout position. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
