He came through Dundee's academy, making his first-team debut at 16-years-old, and has played over 100 times for the club - scoring 27 goals and contributing 12 assists since 2019.
Rangers' technical director Nils Koppen said: "I am delighted that we have agreed a deal for Lyall to join the club and to continue his career at Rangers come the summer.
"He is a talented young player who has already gained great experience in the Scottish Premiership and adding young, Scottish talent to our first-team squad is hugely important to all of us at the club.
"Lyall has a lot of potential and I look forward to seeing him continue to grow at Rangers in the coming years."
Docherty: Cameron will give everything
Cameron's move has resulted in the youngster receiving criticism from some Dundee fans.
However, Dens Park boss Tony Docherty has reassured supporters the academy graduate will continue to "give everything" for the club until the end of the season.
"I can reassure everybody that when he pulls on that Dundee shirt, he will be giving absolutely everything on every occasion," Docherty told Sky Sports News.
"Every day he comes in here, he tries his best to improve something about his game. He's a perfectionist and he wants to leave here on a real high.
"He realises now that he has a real responsibility to his team-mates, to the staff, to my myself, and to the supporters to do all he can when he pulls on that blue shirt.
"I can assure you, knowing Lyall, that's what he will do."
