Historical Context

The European clash and memories of 1979. The both teams have a special connection, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player the English forward netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to secure historic victory for the the English club.

"Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from Second Division to continental competition in a short period."

Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to make the championship match under British coach Houghton.

The current fixture is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the English side tonight.

Plenty of other action on offer in this match tracking. The Scottish side have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the middle of the initial phase with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a recovery for a playoff spot.
