Liverpool are reportedly shock admirers of Derby County goalkeeper David Marshall.
The Reds have focussed on contract renewals and outgoings this summer following the early arrival of Ibrahima Konate from RB Leipzig.
Now in the final days of the transfer window, there is little in the way of expectancy that a busy end is on the cards.
However, according to a report from Daily Mail, as cited by LFC Transfer Room on Twitter, there could be a late swoop for a 36-year-old stopper.

The report suggests that Jurgen Klopp is still considering making final tweaks to the goalkeeping department at Anfield – likely to be the departure of Adrian to be replaced by the experienced Marshall.
Currently out of favour at Pride Park, the 46 times capped Scotsman has amassed 554 senior appearances during a well-travelled club career.

Valued at £225,000 and in the final 12 months of a contract at Derby (Transfermarkt), a deal for the two times Scottish Premiership champion with Celtic would come at little cost.
Similarly to the deal that saw Andy Lonergan join the Reds in 2019, Marshall would represent a smart choice as third goalkeeper given the Scot’s homegrown status.
At present, having only recently signed a new deal on Merseyside, Adrian may be reluctant to leave – despite being unlikely to usurp Alisson Becker or Caoimhín Kelleher.
