Match official: The Dutch referee (from Netherlands) Match Background The European clash and past encounters. The these sides have a historical link, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship 46 years ago that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, unassuming and low-key amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," commented the writer. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to European stage in three seasons." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are riding high after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been lost to a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the league phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a recovery for a knockout position. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the earlier matches, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
