Club legend Barry Ferguson will captain the side.

Speaking of the event, Van Bronckhorst said: “It will be an honour to run out of the Ibrox tunnel again and join some of my former teammates in this incredible match.

“Playing for Rangers was one of the highlights of my career so it is always a privilege to relive that experience and to do so for a match celebrating our 150th anniversary makes it even more special.”

As part of the match, Rangers will make a donation to the Luis Figo Foundation, which was established in 2003 to support education, health and sports for children and young people across the world.

Portuguese great Figo told the Rangers website: “I have many fond memories of Glasgow thanks to winning the UEFA Champions League there in 2002 and the Weekend of Legends at Ibrox is set to be another memorable occasion.

“I’m looking forward to captaining a team that will include former World Cup, Champions League and Ballon D’Or winners and best of all, the weekend will raise important funds for my foundation which supports children around the globe.”
