Match official: Lindhout (Netherlands) Historical Context The European clash and memories of 1979. The these sides have a historical link, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final from 1979 that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to secure historic victory for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the mafficking," commented the writer. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to continental competition in three seasons." It's also interesting to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Nordic team to make the championship match under British coach Houghton. The current fixture is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the Forest tonight. Additional games on offer in this live coverage. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Braga this season. Rangers are at the foot of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the league phase with no points whatsoever. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a recovery for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all the late games and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
