Malmö: Ellborg, Larsen, Jansson, The defender, Rosler, The midfielder, Johnsen, Skogmar, Bolin, Gudjohnsen, The striker. Official: Harm Osmers (from Germany) Lineups: Rangers vs Braga Rangers: Butland, The defender, Fernandez, Djiga, Aarons, The midfielder, Diomande, The midfielder, The attacker, Danilo, Chermiti. The Portuguese side: The goalkeeper, Gomez, The center-back, Niakate, Arrey-Mbi, Zalazar, Moutinho, Gorby, Martinez, The forward, Ricardo Horta. Match official: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Match Background The European clash and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a historical link, also meeting in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Trevor Francis scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham. "Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, modestly dressed amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the revelry," noted the journalist. This represented an remarkable feat that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to European football in three seasons." Worth mentioning to consider Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. This match is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season. The general expectation is on the English side tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. The Glasgow club have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are at the foot of the league rankings at the midpoint of the group stage with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any hope of making a late surge for a qualification place. Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
