Match official: Lindhout (from Netherlands) Match Background Forest vs Malmö and historical connections. The these sides have a special connection, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "The legendary management duo, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," noted the journalist. Theirs has been an remarkable feat that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to European stage in a short period." Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Scandinavian side to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a very different to that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the league phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a recovery for a playoff spot. Updates will continue with all the late games and provide the current standings from the concluded fixtures, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
