Career

A right half, Marshall played for several clubs around Glasgow, starting at St Andrews, then Partick until they folded in the mid-1880s, and Partick Thistle. He joined Rangers in the summer of 1889, and was a key figure in the early years of the Scottish Football League. He won the shared 1890–91 championship, as well as the Scottish Cup in 1894. He made 124 appearances with Rangers in the two major competitions and scored five goals.[1] In 1896 he moved to Abercorn.[2]

Marshall won two Scotland caps in 1892 and 1894,[3] captaining the side in the latter fixture, against Ireland.[4] He also represented the Scottish League XI once in 1895.[5]
