The both teams have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final 46 years ago that connects these teams, with the record-breaking signing Francis netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to secure historic victory for the the English club. "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 revelry," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an extraordinary accomplishment that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to continental competition in a short period." Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Swedish club to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since last month following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the home team tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are at the foot of the competition table at the midpoint of the group stage with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a late surge for a qualification place. We'll keep you up to date with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the earlier matches, including Villa vs Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
