Marshall joined the coaching staff at the club before retiring as a player in 2005.

Marshall joined the Hibernian coaching staff in November 2005 and left his position in July 2009.[2][3] Marshall then worked for Alloa Athletic and St. Johnstone as a goalkeeping coach.[4] He returned to Motherwell in August 2011 as a goalkeeping coach, replacing Stewart Kerr.[4]

Marshall was capped once by Scotland, against the United States in May 1992. His father, also a goalkeeper named Gordon, was capped at under-23 level by England. His younger brother Scott played as a defender with Arsenal, Southampton and Celtic.
