Match Background

Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship 46 years ago that connects these teams, with the groundbreaking transfer Francis netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, modestly dressed amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an extraordinary accomplishment that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to European stage in a short period."

Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under manager Houghton.

Tonight's game is a distant from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the Forest tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the middle of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a qualification place.

Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the concluded fixtures, including Villa vs Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
