Referee: Allard Lindhout (Netherlands) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and historical connections. The two clubs have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship decades past that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing the English forward scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the the English club. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the celebrations," commented the writer. Their achievement was an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to European football in just three years." It's also interesting to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under manager Houghton. This match is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are full of confidence after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for 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 earlier matches, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
