Oliver Glasner: Nottingham Forest boss on Crystal Palace reception

Nottingham Forest boss Oliver Glasner has thanked both his own fans and supporters of Crystal Palace for the reception and support he was given on his Selhurst Park return on Sunday , and welcomed an emerging rivalry between the two clubs. Glasner guided Palace to three trophies, the first major silverware in the club's history, in just over two years before joining Forest in July.

It was a controversial move, especially after Forest replaced the Eagles in the Europa League after their demotion to the Conference League before the 2025-26 season and their owner Evangelos Marinakis' involvement in subsequent legal proceedings . Asked if he thought the friction between the two sets of supporters might endure, Glasner said: "I don't know.

At the end, it's what we all want, when there is a rivalry between fans. "I think everything, also today, is how we wanted. Both supporters, both sides, supported their team with a lot of energy, a lot of power.

"There was maybe a few (negative ones) but I didn't hear it, no negativity against the opposition, and it was really supporting my team, and this is how we want football at the end. "As a manager, and I am now in football for many years, I haven't experienced that, (being) supported from both sides, so a really huge thank you."
