Before the game began, Scotland offered a fitting tribute to Law.

A video montage of his career highlights was shown on the stadium screens, while supporters raised cards to form a banner that read “Lawman.”

Both teams and fans joined in a minute of applause to honor him.

Sir Alex Ferguson displayed his respect by walking onto the field with Law`s family.

The former Manchester United manager held up a jersey with the name and number of the 1964 Ballon d`Or recipient.

Fans appreciated the touching tribute, with many expressing their admiration online, calling it a “lovely moment” and “absolutely class scenes.”

Denis Law passed away at 84 earlier this year after bravely battling Alzheimer`s disease and vascular dementia.

The former forward is celebrated as one of the greatest players for both Scotland and Manchester United.

He shares the record for Scotland`s top goalscorer with 30 goals, alongside Kenny Dalglish.

During his time at Manchester United, Law secured two league titles, the FA Cup, and the European Cup, scoring an impressive 237 goals in 404 appearances.

Figures like Gary Neville, Wayne Rooney, and the entire Manchester United squad attended his funeral.
