Bassey has been an outstanding performer for the Light Blues this season after forcing his way into the starting lineup under two different managers Steven Gerrard and Giovanni van Bronckhorst.
The 22-year-old has appeared in 44 matches in all competitions this season, helping Rangers qualify for the semifinal of the Europa League and final of the Scottish FA Cup.
After receiving the award, Bassey said to Rangers TV : "It's an amazing feeling especially on the club's 150th anniversary. It's just amazing to win this award and all the hard work I've put in over the past year recognized.
"It has been amazing, all credit to the team, fans and manager for trusting and believing in me.
"My teammates push me every single day so it's not just for me but for everyone there working hard with me.
"This is the part of the season where the rewards are given. You know we are still in the league, Scottish Cup and Europa League so there's a lot to play for and we're just focused on taking each stage as it comes to get better, and be prepared for the challenges ahead."

Aribo and Bassey missed out on the club's Player of the Year and Men's Players' Player of the Year awards.
