Preamble

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and historical connections. The two clubs have a special connection, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

"Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," wrote the match reporter. This represented an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from the lower league to continental competition in a short period."

It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton.

The current fixture is a very different to that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are riding high after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the Forest tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been defeated by a Braga this season. Rangers are at the foot of the league rankings at the midpoint of the league phase with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a comeback for a qualification place.

Coverage will persist with all the late games and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
