Match official: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Preamble Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The these sides have a historical link, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that connects these teams, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham. "The legendary management duo, modestly dressed amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," commented the writer. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from second tier to continental competition in a short period." Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. Rangers have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the league phase with no points whatsoever. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a qualification place. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the earlier matches, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
