Match Result: Villa 2-1 Young Boys

The English side clung on for the win and became tied on points with table-toppers Midtjylland at the peak of the group rankings. Villa had difficulty of that in the final stages.

90+1: Monteiro Pulls One Back

Young Boys gave themselves a lifeline through Monteiro but were left with additional time to get the tying goal!

Full-time: Feyenoord 1-3 Celtic

A significant and important win for the Scottish team. Despite going 1-0 down, Celtic roared back with goals from Yang Hyun-jun, Hatate and the Swedish striker.

Match Updates

Aston Villa, meanwhile, retained a 2-0 lead over Young Boys with roughly 300 seconds left at the stadium.

Malen's second goal there sparked furious scenes in the visitors' section, with visiting fans confronting police. Punches were thrown and items launched at both the police and onto the pitch, with the goalscorer being hit on the head by a plastic cup.

Preamble

The European clash and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a special connection, also facing each other in Forest's last European campaign in the UEFA Cup of 1995-96, but it is the premier competition final decades past that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing the English forward scoring the winner of a rather dull championship game to secure historic victory for the red half of Nottingham.

"Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the festivities and cheers, stood for a moment on a bench quietly watching the revelry," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an remarkable feat that it is hard to see being repeated – from second tier to European stage in three seasons."

Worth mentioning to pause a little on Malmö, who became the pioneering and only Nordic team to make the championship match under English manager Bob Houghton.

This match is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the previous continental meeting between Forest and Malmö in that era. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö haven't played officially since last month following the end of the Swedish league season. The smart money is on the English side tonight.

Additional games on offer in this live coverage. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are rock bottom of the league rankings at the half-way stage of the initial phase with precisely zero points. They urgently require a victory if they are to have any chance of achieving a comeback for a qualification place.

We'll keep you up to date with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
