Match official: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters. "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 mafficking," noted the journalist. This represented an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to European stage in just three years." Worth mentioning to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to reach the final under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that pinnacle, 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 early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the Forest tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the league phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
