The 46-year old will replace Steven Gerrard - who has moved to English Premier League club Aston Villa - subject to being granted a work permit.
Van Bronckhorst fielded for Rangers between 1998 and 2001 and clinched several trophies including two League titles.
Before coaching Feyenoord to the Dutch title, the former Netherlands star played for Arsenal and Barcelona and clinched more trophies including the Champions League with the Catalans.
The former midfielder said, he was "absolutely delighted" to become the 17th permanent manager of Rangers Football Club.
He added: "I feel so lucky to be going to work with a squad which is in a great position on all fronts and largely has that experience of being winners.
"I look forward to carrying on and enhancing the work that has been done already and I'm grateful for the chance to work again at this huge football club.
"I cannot wait to meet the club's incredible supporters again and begin this new era for us all."
