Official: The Dutch referee (from Netherlands) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a historical link, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the the English club. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to European stage in three seasons." One should note to reflect upon Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under English manager Bob 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 absolutely buzzing 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 smart money is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the middle of the league phase with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any hope of making a late surge for a playoff spot. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
