Neil Lennon left his role in February after a hugely disappointing season with rivals Rangers going on to claim a first Scottish Premiership title earlier this month.
Marsch is one of a number of names linked with the vacancy after a successful spell with the Austrian side.
"I know enough about it to say of course it's interesting," he told the BBC. "I've heard [about the links]. It's an honour for me.

"Obviously I know that when you're the coach of Celtic, winning is the most important thing."
Marsch won Major League Soccer coach of the year with the New York Red Bulls in 2015 before joining RB Leipzig as assistant to Ralf Rangnick.
He joined Salzburg in 2019 where he won the league and cup double a year ago and is under contract until 2022.
