Match official: The Dutch referee (Netherlands) Historical Context Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The both teams have a unique relationship, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final decades past that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, unassuming and low-key amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," commented the writer. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from Second Division to European football in three seasons." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to make the championship match under British coach Houghton. This match is a distant from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the midpoint of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
