Goalkeeper David Marshall has announced his retirement from football and will become head of technical performance at Hibernian.
The 39-year-old ends an accomplished playing career, which saw him make 670 senior first-team appearances over the past two decades.
He made his debut for Celtic in February 2003 and won two league titles and a Scottish Cup with the Hoops while appearing in the Champions League and UEFA Cup.
Marshall made his debut for Celtic in 2003 at the age of 17.
Marshall also won the English Championship trophy while playing under new Hibs sporting director Malky Mackay at Cardiff City.
He made 100 appearances in the Premier League and over 450 in the Championship, with Norwich City, Cardiff City, Hull City, Wigan, Derby County and QPR before joining Hibs in 2022 where he made 86 appearances, keeping 22 clean sheets.
He was the hero when Steve Clarke guided Scotland to Euro 2020, making crucial saves in penalties against Israel and Serbia. He retired from international football in 2022.

Marshall said: “Having made the decision to retire from football, I am delighted to have the opportunity to take up this role with the football club. I have come to know and understand the club through over the past two seasons and I look forward to working closely with Malky Mackay to create an environment conducive to success on and off the field.
