The these sides have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer the English forward scoring the winner of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to European stage in a short period." One should note to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to reach the final under manager Houghton. This match is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the Forest tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been lost to a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the midpoint of the group stage with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a recovery for a qualification place. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the earlier matches, including Villa vs Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
