Key Game Summaries

Half Time: Kyiv 0-1 Palace

A fine start to the European competition campaign for Crystal Palace, with Muñoz's looping header providing the away side a well-earned lead in Lublin.

Half Time: Celtic 0-1 Braga

Another difficult European night for Brendan Rodgers so far, as the visitors lead through Horta's distance effort, which had Kasper Schmeichel flapping at thin air.

Match Background

Nottingham Forest’s most recent home match in Europe was a disappointing affair: hopeful after coming back from Bayern Munich with just a 2-1 loss, the home side shipped five scores to a rampant Bayern team in 1996. This evening's opponents, FC Midtjylland, were not formed at that time – the Denmark-based side were formed by a fusion in 1999 but have amassed considerable European experience in the last decade, and represent a challenging challenge for Ange Postecoglou, still searching for his maiden win as Forest manager.

Villa have also made an disappointing beginning to the season and confront a more renowned continental opponent in Feyenoord Rotterdam – whose home ground in Rotterdam was the location of Aston Villa's greatest evening back in 1982. Whilst fans savor a sentimental trip to the stadium, the Villa manager's primary concern will be maintaining momentum after eking out back-to-back victories over Bologna and Fulham FC in the last week.

Regarding tough beginnings, the Rangers manager might have finally won a match and boosted his reputation among Rangers fans by approximately 0.0001%, but SK Sturm Graz – defeated by FC Midtjylland in their European opener – look able of sending the beleaguered coach to the lowest point. Another head coach under pressure, Aberdeen FC's Thelin, hosts Shakhtar Donetsk to Pittodrie.

All those matches start at 8pm (BST), with updates from Palace's European away game to play Dynamo Kyiv in the Polish venue and Celtic's homeground Europa League game against Braga, plus various hot European action. Hold tight!
