Full-time: Aston Villa 2-1 Young Boys

Villa managed to hold on for the three points and went equal on points with leaders Midtjylland at the summit of the group rankings. The Birmingham club struggled of that during the closing minutes.

90+1: Monteiro Pulls One Back

Young Boys earned a lifeline through Monteiro but were left with stoppage time to score the leveler!

Glasgow Side Wins 3-1

A famous and valuable win for the Glasgow side. Even after falling 1-0 down, Celtic roared back with goals from the Korean forward, Hatate and Nygren.

Game Developments

Aston Villa, meanwhile, retained a 2-0 lead over Young Boys with around five minutes left at the stadium.

Malen's double there caused dramatic events in the away end, with Swiss fans engaging with police. Scuffles broke out and projectiles hurled at both the police and at the playing surface, with the goalscorer being hit on the head by a plastic cup.

Match Background

Forest vs Malmö and memories of 1979. The both teams have a special connection, also competing in Forest's last European campaign in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the premier competition final 46 years ago that connects these teams, with Britain's first £1m player Francis heading the only goal of a largely forgettable match to secure historic victory for the Forest supporters.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench serenely viewing the celebrations," wrote the match reporter. Theirs has been an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from second tier to continental competition in three seasons."

Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the initial and final Swedish club to make the championship match under British coach Houghton.

The current fixture is a distant from that summit, closer perhaps to the earlier European encounter between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at the famous ground on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season. The popular prediction is on the home team tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been lost to a Portuguese opponent this season. Rangers are at the foot of the league rankings at the midpoint of the group stage with precisely zero points. They badly want a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving 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 previous games, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and the Dutch-Scottish clash.
