Referee: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Match Background The European clash and historical connections. The both teams have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship decades past that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham. "Forest's famous bosses, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," noted the journalist. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to continental competition in a short period." Worth mentioning to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to reach the final under manager Houghton. This match is a far cry from that peak, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the half-way stage of the initial phase with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including the Birmingham match and Feyenoord v Celtic.
