Full-time: Aston Villa 2-1 Young Boys

The English side clung on for the victory and moved level on points with table-toppers Midtjylland at the summit of the group rankings. The English side had difficulty of that during the closing minutes.

90+1: Monteiro Pulls One Back

Young Boys gave themselves a lifeline through Monteiro but only have four more minutes to score the leveler!

Celtic Secure Victory

A famous and valuable win for the Celtic. Although they went 1-0 down, Celtic roared back with goals from Yang Hyun-jun, Hatate and Nygren.

Match Updates

The Birmingham side, concurrently, held onto a 2-0 lead over Young Boys with roughly 300 seconds left at Villa Park.

The Dutch forward's brace there caused dramatic events in the opposition stands, with Young Boys supporters confronting police. Scuffles broke out and objects thrown at both the police and onto the pitch, with the goalscorer being caught on the head by a drinking vessel.

Match Background

Nottingham Forest v Malmö and past encounters. The both teams have a unique relationship, also facing each other in Forest's most recent continental tour in the mid-90s European competition, but it is the continental championship decades past that links these clubs, with the record-breaking signing Francis scoring the winner of a largely forgettable match to clinch eternal glory for the red half of Nottingham.

"Forest's famous bosses, grey-sweatered and anonymous amid all the excitement and joy, stood for a moment on a bench calmly observing the mafficking," noted the journalist. Their achievement was an outstanding achievement that it is unlikely to be replicated – from second tier to European stage in just three years."

One should note to consider Malmö, who became the first, and to date the last Nordic team to reach the final under English manager Bob Houghton.

Tonight's game is a very different to that summit, closer perhaps to the Uefa Cup first-round tie between Forest and Malmö in 1995-96. Forest are riding high after thrashing Liverpool at Liverpool's home on Saturday, while Malmö have been inactive since last month following the completion of Allsvenskan. The smart money is on the Forest tonight.

Numerous other matches on offer in this clockwatch. The Scottish side have already been defeated by a European rival this season. Rangers are at the foot of the 36-team Europa League standings at the middle 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 knockout position.

Coverage will persist with all the evening matches and provide the current standings from the previous games, including the Birmingham match and Rotterdam vs Glasgow.
