Match official: Lindhout (Holland) Match Background The European clash and memories of 1979. The both teams have a unique relationship, also facing each other in Forest's last European campaign in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing Francis scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the the English club. "Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," commented the writer. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from second tier to continental competition in a short period." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton. This match is a far cry from 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 Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the English side tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the league phase with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
