Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the premier competition final 46 years ago that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward scoring the winner of a largely forgettable match to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters.

"The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," noted the journalist. This represented an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from second tier to European football in a short period."

Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to reach the final under manager Houghton.

This match is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since 9 November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The general expectation is on the home team tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the half-way stage of the group stage with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a qualification place.

Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
