Nottingham Forest v Malmö, Rangers v Braga, and more: Europa League – live

9.00pm GMT Half-time reading: Related: Aston Villa see off Young Boys in win marred by away fans fighting with police 8.57pm GMT Half-time scores! 8.56pm GMT GOAL! Nottingham Forest 2-0 Malmo (Kalimuendo 44) Kalimuendo gets his first goal for Forest after signing in the summer! That’s a big goal for the Frenchman, who taps in a rebound after an excellent Yates header. 8.55pm GMT GOAL! Real Betis 1-0 Utrecht (Cucho Hernández 42) Antony the creator as the former Manchester United winger shows unbelievable upper body strength to shoulder-barge his way past a marker, before delivering a pin-point cross to Cucho Hernández in the middle. Somebody sound the diving header klaxon! Updated at 8.57pm GMT 8.50pm GMT GOAL! Rangers 1-0 Braga (Tavernier 45) Tavernier sends Hornicek the wrong way, passing it into the net. That’s the right-back’s 21st European goal, which puts him level with Ally McCoist in the Rangers history books. 8.49pm GMT Penalty to Rangers! Braga's Navarro penalised for handball! The referee missed it first time around, but VAR intervenes and Navarro clearly handles the ball from a cross. It’s definitely not deliberate, but the arm is away from the body, etc and so on. It’s probably the right call, within the realms of these ridiculous rules. 8.46pm GMT GOAL! Go Ahead Eagles 0-2 Stuttgart (Leweling 35) I can’t have eyes on every game, so am grateful for this email from Kári Tulinius. “Leweling scored another,” he writes. “He received a pass upfield from Angelo Stiller, advanced upfield and placed it perfectly into the bottom left corner from outside the box. Oh, and he deserves more praise for his first, because he created the chance by having the presence of mind to dummy the ball so that it ran to Deniz Undav, who set Leweling up for his goal.” 8.44pm GMT GOAL! Maccabi Tel-Aviv 0-3 Lyon (Niakhaté pen 35) Lyon are running riot in Serbia against the Israeli side, with former Nottingham Forest defender Niakhaté scoring from the spot. Tolisso had scored Lyon’s second. Updated at 8.52pm GMT 8.41pm GMT Rangers 0-0 Braga 36 min: The Scottish side are pressing for the opener. Danilo wastes a good chance after Chermiti creates the opening. Then very valid shouts for a Rangers penalty as Gassama goes down in the box. It certainly looked clumsy from Martínez, who bundles into the back of the Gers winger. Updated at 8.44pm GMT 8.38pm GMT GOAL! Bologna 1-1 RB Salzburg (Vertessen 33) The Austrian side are level, with Vertessen leading a counter attack and pouncing on a rebound when Ravaglia spilled an initial shot. 8.34pm GMT GOAL! Nottingham Forest 1-0 Malmö (Yates 27) Yates has scored in each of the top five divisions of English football – the Premier League, Championship, League One, League Two, and National League – and now has scored his first European goal for Forest. The home side caught Malmo cold with a quick throw, Milenkovic of all people popped up on the right wing and after a deflected cross, Yates was there to steer a finish into the corner. “He’s one of our own” serenade the Forest fans. Updated at 8.44pm GMT 8.31pm GMT GOAL! Bologna 1-0 RB Salzburg (Odgaard 26) Dreadful defending from the Austrian side as they fail to deal with a cross – the ball bobbling out to Odgaard on the edge of Salzburg’s area, and the Dane whips it into the corner. 8.28pm GMT GOAL! Go Ahead Eagles 0-1 Stuttgart (Leweling 20) Stuttgart are going well at the moment, fifth in the Bundesliga and secured a 3-3 draw at Dortmund at the weekend, with former Brighton striker Deniz Undav getting a hat-trick. Related: Deniz Undav’s nose for goal is making Stuttgart forget all about Woltemade | Andy Brassell But it’s Leweling that has got the goal at Go Ahead Eagles, scoring with a neat trivela finish after being slipped through. Updated at 8.37pm GMT 8.24pm GMT Nottingham Forest 0-0 Malmo 18 min: Abbott is not shy coming forward and takes aim from 25 yards, but the shot flies over. Neither side look particularly dangerous. You can tell that the home side are made up of mostly second-string players and tell that the visitors haven’t played a competitive game of football in 17 days. 8.20pm GMT Rangers 0-0 Braga 14 min: Butland makes an extroadinary save to deny Braga skipper Horta, who shot through a crowd of players towards the far corner. Horta was certain he had scored before Butland tipped it wide, and wore a face of disbelief afterwards. 8.18pm GMT GOAL! Genk 1-0 Basel (Oh Hyeon-gyu 14) Oh Hyeon-gyu gets his third Europa League goal of the season – now joint top of the scoring standings in this competition – to give the Belgian side the lead. Updated at 8.25pm GMT 8.14pm GMT Rangers 0-0 Braga 8 min: A very sluggish start by the home side. From what I have seen, there hasn’t been a huge improvement under Danny Röhl, although it’s still early days in his Rangers tenure. 8.09pm GMT GOAL! Maccabi Tel Aviv 0-1 Lyon (Abner Vinícius 4) We have our first goal from the 8pm GMT kick-offs! A simple tap in for the Brazilian at the back post. This match is being played in Serbia, by the way. Updated at 8.14pm GMT 8.07pm GMT Nottingham Forest 0-0 Malmo 3 min: Kalimuendo flashes a shot across the six-yard box after a lovely slide rule pass from Murillo. There is a nice blend of experience and youth in this Forest side, with Dyche making seven changes from the team that beat Liverpool on Saturday. Teenager Zach Abbott is in at right-back for just his fifth first-team appearance. Malmo are captained this evening by the former Leeds defender Pontus Jansson and have former Blackburn and Norwich defender Martin Olsson lurking on the bench. Updated at 8.21pm GMT 8.01pm GMT Peeeeeeeep! The 8pm GMT games are all underway. 8.01pm GMT The teams are out at both the City Ground and Ibrox. Tifos galore at the former, celebrating Brian Clough sat with Peter Taylor, plus Trevor Francis. It’s a special atmosphere. Updated at 8.07pm GMT 7.53pm GMT This is what those early results do to the Europa League table. Celtic up to 17th and back into the safety of the playoff places.

Gosh, the English side made hard work of that at the end. 7.45pm GMT GOAL! Aston Villa 2-1 Young Boys (Joël Monteiro 90+1) Young Boys give themselves a lifeline through Monteiro but only have four more minutes of stoppage time to find an equaliser! 7.43pm GMT Full-time: Feyenoord 1-3 Celtic A famous and valuable win for the Glasgow side. Despite going 1-0 down, Celtic roared back with goals from Yang Hyun-jun, Reo Hatate and Benjamin Nygren. 7.40pm GMT Aston Villa, meanwhile, retain a 2-0 lead over Young Boys with around five minutes left at Villa Park. Malen’s second goal there sparked furious scenes in the away end, with Young Boys supporters clashing with police. Punches were thrown and objects thrown at both the police and onto the pitch, with Malen himself being caught on the head by a plastic cup. 7.33pm GMT Celtic have scored again, through Benjamin Nygren! They lead Feyenoord 3-1 now, and just have a few minutes of stoppage time to see out! 7.23pm GMT Nottingham Forest v Malmö teams! Nottingham Forest: John Victor, Abbott, Milenkovic, Murillo, Morato, Yates, Sangare, Dominguez, McAtee, Hudson-Odoi, Kalimuendo.Subs: Sels, Willows, Williams, Anderson, Ndoye, Igor Jesus, Boly, Savona, Whitehall, Thompson, Sinclair.

Referee: Allard Lindhout (Holland) Updated at 7.21pm GMT 7.08pm GMT Villa are coasting towards victory over Young Boys thanks to two goals from Donyell Malen. With leaders Midtjylland losing 1-0 to Roma, that means Villa will go level on points at the top of the league phase standings, should the scores stay this way. Martin O’Neill is on the verge of signing off as interim Celtic manager in style with a 2-1 win away at Feyenoord. Just 25 minutes to go for what would be a very impressive victory. 7.02pm GMT This is the current state of play in the early kick-offs, and a full run down of the 8pm kick-offs to come. 7.00pm GMT Preamble Nottingham Forest v Malmö and memories of 1979. The two clubs have a special connection, also meeting in Forest’s last European campaign in the 1995-96 Uefa Cup, but it is the European Cup final 46 years ago that entwines these two together, with Britain’s first £1m player Trevor Francis heading the only goal of a pretty miserable final to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham. “Brian Clough and Peter Taylor, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the colour and celebration, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking,” wrote David Lacey in 1979. Theirs has been an outstanding achievement that it is hard to see being repeated – from Second Division to European football in three seasons.” It’s also interesting to pause a little on Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last, Scandinavian side to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton. If you want to know a little bit more about that side and how they nearly conquered Europe, Jonathan Wilson does a pretty good job here. Related: ‘The whole journey was fantastic’: how Bob Houghton led Malmö to European Cup final This match is a far cry from that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are absolutely buzzing after thrashing Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield on Saturday, while Malmö haven’t kicked a competitive ball since 9 November following the end of the Swedish league season (in which they finished a disappointing sixth). The smart money is on the English side tonight. Plenty of other action on offer in this clockwatch. Rangers have already been beaten by a Braga this season (Striker Claudio Braga helped Hearts to a 2-0 win over the Glasgow side in September). Rangers are rock bottom of the 36-team Europa League standings at the half-way stage of the league phase with precisely zero points and one goal scored. They desperately need a victory if they are to have any hope of making a late surge for a playoff spot (they would have to finish at least 24th to do so). We’ll keep you up to date with all nine of the 8pm kick-offs and provide the latest scores from the earlier matches, including Aston Villa v Young Boys and Feyenoord v Celtic.
