Match official: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," noted the journalist. Theirs has been an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to continental competition in just three years." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to make the championship match under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been lost to a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the midpoint of the group stage with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a playoff spot. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the concluded fixtures, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
