As reported by Edinburgh Evening News, Marshall has been allowed to leave Hibs after his contract expires.

After arriving on a free transfer from QPR, Marshall made 86 appearances for the Hibees. Although, it appears that he’ll be leaving the Leith club to little fanfare.

It remains to be seen whether Marshall will continue playing. The 39-year old has amassed an incredible 671 appearances across a good career between the sticks. Although, Celtic fans remember his time at the club with particular fondness.

Marshall made 50 appearances for Celtic, winning one league title, two Scottish Cups and one Scottish League Cup. Marshall was thrown into life at Paradise with a standout performance at Camp Nou to shutout Barcelona before an outstanding display at Ibrox.

It was expected that Marshall would grow into a long term No.1. However, the departure of Martin O’Neill and arrival of Gordon Strachan saw a shift in opinion around who should be No.1. Polish showstopper Artur Boruc was signed and claimed the jersey with Marshall unwilling to settle for second fiddle.
