Preamble

Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The these sides have a historical link, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that connects these teams, with the groundbreaking transfer Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters.

"Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to European football in a short period."

Worth mentioning to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Nordic team to make the championship match under British coach Houghton.

This match is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. Rangers have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the group stage with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a playoff spot.

Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
