The 20-year-old spent last season on loan with the SPL champions and scored his first senior career goal in a 1-0 victory over St Mirren in March.
The centre-back’s loan spell was cut short, however, after he sustained a knee-ligament injury during a 1-0 Europa League defeat to PSV Eindhoven later that same month.
The Scottish club have now confirmed, via their official website, that the former Sheffield United loan star will return to Ibrox with just the final paperwork to be sorted out before the loan deal can officially go through.
Rangers have also stressed that they expect Bartley to be available for their pre-season friendly clash with Premier League giants Chelsea on Saturday with the player due in Scotland on Friday.
