Preamble

The European clash and historical connections. The both teams have a special connection, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the premier competition final decades past that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer 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 quietly watching the celebrations," commented the writer. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to continental competition in a short period."

Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under manager Houghton.

This match is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the English side tonight.

Additional games on offer in this match tracking. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the half-way stage of the group stage with exactly zero. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a playoff spot.

Updates will continue with all the late games and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
