Starting XI Revealed Nottingham Forest: Victor, Abbott, Milenkovic, Murillo, The full-back, Yates, Sangare, The midfielder, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, Kalimuendo.

Official: Osmers (German) Starting Players The Glasgow side: The goalkeeper, Tavernier, The center-back, The defender, Aarons, Barron, Diomande, The midfielder, Gassama, Danilo, Chermiti. Braga: Hornicek, Gomez, The center-back, Niakate, The full-back, Zalazar, Moutinho, Gorby, Martinez, Navarro, Ricardo Horta. Match official: Allard Lindhout (Netherlands) Match Background The European clash and past encounters. The these sides have a unique relationship, also competing in Forest's previous European adventure in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the premier competition final decades past that links these clubs, with the groundbreaking transfer the English forward netting the decisive goal of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the Forest supporters. "Forest's famous bosses, modestly dressed amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the mafficking," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is unlikely to be replicated – from Second Division to continental competition in three seasons." One should note to reflect upon Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Nordic team to advance to the ultimate game under British coach Houghton. Tonight's game is a far cry from that pinnacle, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after defeating Liverpool convincingly at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since early November following the conclusion of their domestic campaign. The general expectation is on the home team tonight. Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been beaten by a European rival this season. Rangers are last place of the league rankings at the midpoint of the group stage with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any opportunity for a late surge for a knockout position. Coverage will persist with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the most recent results from the earlier matches, including the Birmingham match and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
