Goalkeeping coach Marshall joined Hibs from Motherwell in 2005

Hibernian have parted company with goalkeeping coach Gordon Marshall.

The 45-year-old former Celtic and Motherwell keeper was with the Scottish Premier League club since 2005.

But Hibs' goalkeepers have been the subject of criticism in recent seasons, with Yves Ma-Kalambay eventually holding down the number one jersey.

Marshall departs Easter Road following the arrival of John Hughes as manager, and assistant Brian Rice, who came from Falkirk to succeed Mixu Paatelainen.

The departing coach told Hibs' website: "As a professional footballer, every club you join and leave will always hold a special place for you in your career.

"I take this final opportunity to wish John Hughes and Hibernian Football Club's goalkeepers my best wishes for the seasons ahead."

Marshall joined Hibs when they were managed by Tony Mowbray, who has taken over at Celtic this summer.
