Match Background

The European clash and past encounters. The both teams have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship decades past that connects these teams, with the groundbreaking transfer Francis scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the the English club.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, modestly dressed amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from the lower league to European football in three seasons."

One should note to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to reach the final under manager Houghton.

The current fixture is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since 9 November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. 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 Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the midpoint of the initial phase with exactly zero. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a qualification place.

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