Match official: Lindhout (Netherlands) Match Background Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The two clubs have a historical link, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final 46 years ago that links these clubs, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, unassuming and low-key amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," commented the writer. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European football in three seasons." One should note to pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Swedish club to reach the final under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since 9 November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the middle of the league phase with exactly zero. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a qualification place. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the current standings from the earlier matches, including the Birmingham match and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
