Team News: Nottingham Forest v Malmö Forest: The goalkeeper, Abbott, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato, Yates, Sangare, Dominguez, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, The striker.

Official: Lindhout (Holland) Match Background The European clash and past encounters. The two clubs have a historical link, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham. "The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," commented the writer. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from second tier to European football in a short period." One should note to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a very different to that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a knockout position. We'll keep you up to date with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the earlier matches, including Villa vs Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
