Referee: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The these sides have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship 46 years ago that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a largely forgettable match to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," noted the journalist. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to continental competition in three seasons." One should note to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Scandinavian side to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. The current fixture is a distant from that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. Rangers have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the half-way stage of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a playoff spot. We'll keep you up to date with all the late games and provide the most recent results from the earlier matches, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
