Marshall began his career as a youth player at Rangers, but failed to make any first team appearances for the club. He went on to play for East Stirlingshire, East Fife and Falkirk before joining Celtic for £270,000 in 1991.

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 moved to a similar position with Aberdeen in June 2015.[5][6]

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.
