David Marshall, a former goalkeeper for Cardiff City, Derby County, and QPR, has announced his retirement.
The 39-year-old goalie has decided to retire.
Marshall, who has 47 caps for the Scotland national team and 670 appearances in his career, will now be Hibernian’s technical performance manager.
He told Hibs’ website: “Having decided to retire from football, I’m thrilled to be given the opportunity in this role at the Football Club.” Over the previous two seasons, I’ve gotten to know and understand the Club, and I’m excited to work closely with Malky Mackay to develop a climate that can produce success both on and off the pitch.
“This new role allows me to work across several performance divisions within the Football Club and learn from Malky, who has years of expertise in the game.
“The supporters’ support will be critical to our success, and I am confident that you will be there for the team, David Gray and his coaching staff. I am excited to get started on the 2024/25 campaign.”

Marshall began his career at Celtic, rising through the Scottish Premiership giants’ academy systems before making 50 appearances for their main squad as a youngster.
He first traveled to England to join Norwich City before joining with Cardiff City in 2009.
The stopper went on to become a major player in Wales, appearing in 278 games for the Bluebirds and helping them achieve promotion to the Premier League in 2013.
Marshall then moved to Hull City and spent three years at the MKM Stadium, one of which was in the top division.
Derby County signed him in 2020 after a spell with Wigan Athletic, and he was the Rams’ number one in his first season before losing his place.
QPR signed him in 2021, and he made 11 appearances for the London club before returning to Scotland to join Hibs.
Marshall is now starting a new chapter in his life upstairs at Easter Road, working closely with former Cardiff City manager Malky Mackay.
The Edinburgh club recently fired former Sheffield United player Nick Montgomery and replaced him with club favorite David Gray.
