Spurs will make the Ibrox trip hoping to prepare for a Champions League campaign
Rangers are still in the hunt to retain their title, but are six points down on rivals Celtic with just four games to play.
Van Bronckhorst’s side are more likely to pivot attentions to the Europa League where they face RB Leipzig in a semi-final this week.
Spurs will be hoping they travel to Ibrox having secured Champions League qualification as they chase a top four spot in a battle with Arsenal.
Whether Antonio Conte will remain manager of the north London outfit for the friendly though is uncertain with reports linking him as a potential target to replace Mauricio Pochettino as Paris Saint-Germain boss.
The former Spurs manager is expected to leave the French capital despite winning the league title last weekend.
