Malen's double there caused dramatic events in the opposition stands, with Young Boys supporters clashing with police.

Lineups: Forest vs Malmö The Reds: John Victor, Abbott, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato, Yates, The defensive midfielder, The midfielder, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, The striker. Malmö: Ellborg, The defender, Jansson, The defender, Rosler, Haksabanovic, Johnsen, Skogmar, Bolin, Gudjohnsen, Busanello. Referee: Harm Osmers (Germany) Team News: Rangers v Braga Rangers: Butland, Tavernier, The center-back, Djiga, Aarons, The midfielder, The midfielder, Raskin, Gassama, Danilo, The striker. The Portuguese side: The goalkeeper, Gomez, Lagerbielke, The defender, The full-back, Zalazar, The experienced midfielder, The midfielder, Martinez, Navarro, The striker. Referee: Allard Lindhout (Netherlands) Preamble The European clash and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a unique relationship, also meeting in Forest's last European campaign in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the premier competition final 46 years ago that entwines these two together, with Britain's first £1m player Francis netting the decisive goal of a largely forgettable match to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham. "The legendary management duo, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the revelry," commented the writer. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from the lower league to continental competition in three seasons." It's also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game 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 the mid-nineties. Forest are riding high after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The smart money is on the Forest tonight. Additional games on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been lost to a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle of the group stage with precisely zero points. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a late surge for a playoff spot. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
