Referee: The Dutch referee (Holland) Preamble Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The these sides have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player Francis scoring the winner of a largely forgettable match to secure historic victory for the Forest supporters. "The legendary management duo, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," noted the journalist. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to European football in just three years." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. This match is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The general expectation is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the league phase with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a playoff spot. We'll keep you up to date with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
