Hibernian

In August 2016, he signed for Scottish club Hibernian on loan for the 2016–17 season, although regulations held up his eligibility to play for the club. Marciano said that he was sold on the move by fellow Israeli footballer Nir Bitton, who plays for Celtic.

Marciano was recalled to the national squad in March 2019, and played as Israel's on-and-off first choice goalkeeper since the UEFA Euro 2020 qualifiers. He then established his permanent first position for Israel all throughout the 2020–21 UEFA Nations League and the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA). On 29 March 2020, Marciano was given the captain armband of the Israel national (after first captain Bibras Natcho was substituted out right after the first half), in a home friendly match against Romania that ended in a 2–2 draw.
