Official: Allard Lindhout (Netherlands) Preamble Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The two clubs have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship 46 years ago that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player Francis scoring the winner of a largely forgettable match to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to continental competition in three seasons." It's also interesting to consider Malmö, who became the initial and final Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under English manager Bob Houghton. This match is a distant from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing 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 home team tonight. Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the middle of the group stage with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a playoff spot. We'll keep you up to date with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
