The Portuguese side: Hornicek, Gomez, The center-back, The defender, Arrey-Mbi, Zalazar, Moutinho, Gorby, Martinez, Navarro, The striker. Referee: The Dutch referee (from Netherlands) Historical Context The European clash and past encounters. The two clubs have a historical link, also facing each other in Forest's previous European adventure in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player Trevor Francis netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from Second Division to European football in a short period." One should note to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Swedish club to reach the final under manager Houghton. Tonight's game is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since early November following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the Forest tonight. Additional games on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been beaten by a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the middle of the league phase with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a recovery for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the current standings from the previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
