Official: Lindhout (Holland) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The these sides have a historical link, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the premier competition final decades past that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the mafficking," commented the writer. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from Second Division to continental competition in just three years." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the home team tonight. Additional games on offer in this live coverage. The Scottish side have already been lost to a European rival this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the half-way stage of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any hope of making a comeback for a playoff spot. We'll keep you up to date 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.
