Sir Alex Ferguson led an emotional tribute to Scottish football icon Denis Law before Scotland's clash with Greece. Former Manchester United forward Law died aged 84 in January after battling Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.

His funeral took place last month, with legendary ex-United boss Ferguson among those to attend. On Sunday, Scotland played their first home match since Law's death.

Steve Clarke's side hosted the Greeks in the second leg of their Nations League play-off clash. Ahead of kick-off at Hampden Park, a tribute was paid to 'the Lawman'.

An epic montage of Law's best moments was played on the big screens while fans held up cards to create a banner that read 'Lawman'. Both teams paid their respects alongside the supporters by taking part in a minute's applause.

Ferguson entered the pitch alongside Law's family. The former United manager held a shirt aloft with Law's name and the number 10 on the back.
