Match official: The Dutch referee (Holland) Match Background The European clash and memories of 1979. The both teams have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the continental championship from 1979 that entwines these two together, with the groundbreaking transfer Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an extraordinary accomplishment that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to continental competition in just three years." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Scandinavian side to make the championship match under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are full of confidence after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the English side tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the competition table at the midpoint of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the late games and provide the most recent results from the concluded fixtures, including Villa vs Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
