Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's previous European adventure in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship 46 years ago that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Francis heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham.

"Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," noted the journalist. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from Second Division to continental competition in a short period."

One should note to reflect upon Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to reach the final under British coach Houghton.

Tonight's game is a far cry from that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The popular prediction is on the Forest tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. 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 initial phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a playoff spot.

Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
