Historical Context

Forest vs Malmö and past encounters. The these sides have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the premier competition final decades past that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the Forest supporters.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," commented the writer. This represented an extraordinary accomplishment that it is hard to see being repeated – from Second Division to European football in just three years."

It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton.

This match is a distant from that peak, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the English side tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the group stage with no points whatsoever. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a playoff spot.

Coverage will persist with all the late games and provide the latest scores from the concluded fixtures, including the Birmingham match and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
