Match official: Allard Lindhout (from Netherlands) Match Background Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final decades past that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing Francis netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to European stage in three seasons." One should note to reflect upon Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this live coverage. Rangers have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the group stage with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the concluded fixtures, including the Birmingham match and Feyenoord v Celtic.
