Official: The Dutch referee (Holland) Match Background The European clash and memories of 1979. The both teams have a special connection, also meeting in Forest's last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," wrote the match reporter. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from Second Division to European stage in three seasons." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to reach the final under manager Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that peak, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the English side tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the competition table at the middle of the group stage with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a comeback for a playoff spot. We'll keep you up to date with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
