Official: Allard Lindhout (from Netherlands) Preamble Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The two clubs have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final from 1979 that connects these teams, with the groundbreaking transfer the English forward netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to secure historic victory for the the English club. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to European stage in just three years." Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Scandinavian side to advance to the ultimate game under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the midpoint of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a knockout position. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
