Official: Lindhout (from Netherlands) Historical Context Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a historical link, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup 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 clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters. "The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to European stage in just three years." One should note to reflect upon Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. The current fixture is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight. Additional games on offer in this live coverage. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Braga 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 recovery for a knockout position. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
