Referee: Lindhout (from Netherlands) Preamble Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final decades past that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing Francis heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the celebrations," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to European football in a short period." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under manager Houghton. The current fixture is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the midpoint of the league phase with exactly zero. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a playoff spot. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
