Match official: Allard Lindhout (from Netherlands) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a historical link, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final decades past that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the celebrations," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to European stage in three seasons." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. This match is a far cry from that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. 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 completion of Allsvenskan. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom 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 chance of achieving a comeback for a knockout position. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the earlier matches, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
