Dundee missed out on promotion to the SPL after finishing second in the Scottish First Division, but the downfall of Rangers - who were dissolved and relaunched as a newco after going into administration - freed up a place for the club.
The newco Rangers are set to resume life in the Scottish Third Division, and the vacancy in the top flight has been awarded to the Dark Blues. Relegated Dunfermline had competed with Dundee for the spot.
After the meeting at Hampden Park, the SPL released a statement.
The SPL said: 'It was agreed that the SPL would work with the Scottish FA, SFL and Rangers to facilitate Rangers FC taking their place in SFL Division 3 this season.
'It was agreed that Dundee FC would be invited to fill the space vacated by Rangers FC in the Clydesdale Bank Premier League.'
Scottish Football League clubs voted overwhelmingly to force Rangers to the bottom of the pyramid.
