The Dutch forward's brace there sparked furious scenes in the visitors' section, with Young Boys supporters clashing with police. Scuffles broke out and objects thrown at both the officers and at the playing surface, with Malen himself being caught on the head by a throwable object. Team News: Nottingham Forest v Malmö Forest: The goalkeeper, The defender, The center-back, Murillo, Morato, Yates, Sangare, Dominguez, McAtee, The winger, The striker. The Swedish side: Ellborg, Stryger Larsen, Jansson, Duric, Rosler, Haksabanovic, Johnsen, Skogmar, Bolin, The forward, Busanello. Match official: The German referee (from Germany) Lineups: Rangers vs Braga The Light Blues: Butland, Tavernier, Fernandez, Djiga, Aarons, The midfielder, Diomande, The midfielder, Gassama, Danilo, Chermiti. The Arsenalistas: Hornicek, Gomez, Lagerbielke, The defender, Arrey-Mbi, Zalazar, Joao Moutinho, The midfielder, Martinez, The forward, The striker. Match official: Allard Lindhout (from Netherlands) Match Background Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a special connection, also competing in Forest's most recent continental tour in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the European Cup final from 1979 that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player Francis netting the decisive goal of a rather dull championship game to claim legendary status for the red half of Nottingham. "The legendary management duo, unassuming and low-key amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the revelry," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is difficult to imagine happening again – from Second Division to European football in just three years." Worth mentioning to reflect upon Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Scandinavian side to make the championship match under manager Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in the mid-nineties. Forest are full of confidence after beating Liverpool 3-0 at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't kicked a competitive ball since 9 November following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the English side tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this live coverage. Rangers have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the league phase with no points whatsoever. They badly want a victory if they are to have any hope of making a comeback for a qualification place. Updates will continue with all the evening matches and provide the most recent results from the previous games, including Villa vs Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
