David Marshall (born March 5, 1985 in Glasgow, Scotland) is a professional footballer currently playing for Norwich City on loan from Celtic. He is a goalkeeper and is also a Scotland international.
Marshall, a product of Celtic's youth academy, made his first start for Celtic on March 25, 2004 in a fourth round, second leg UEFA Cup tie against Spanish giants FC Barcelona at the Nou Camp. The 19-year-old, deputising for a suspended Rab Douglas, put in an excellent performance to keep a clean sheet to help Celtic into the next round (1-0 on aggregate) after a home win and he then went on to save a penalty from Barcelona's Ronaldinho the following season.
However his Celtic career took a downward turn under Gordon Strachan's management. In the first two games under Strachan he conceded 9 goals, 5 to Artmedia Bratislavia and 4 to Motherwell. With the signing of Artur Boruc, Marshall was consigned to the bench and remained there for the following 18 months before being sent on loan to Norwich.
After his debut against Blackpool, Norwich manager said this of his new loan signing:
"David Marshall made some great saves and he's a good goalkeeper. That's why I've been chasing him for about three months.
"I'm pleased to get him and he did exceptionally well."
He has however been sidelined recently due to an injury sustained in the FA Cup 4th round tie with Chelsea FC after falling awkwardly on his ankle
