Steven can't see history repeating
But he insists a repeat of that 1-0 reverse at Ibrox is out of the question on Sunday.
Accies make the short trip to Glasgow hoping to write their own names into the history books with a win to rival that success back in 1987.
But, still reeling from a midweek defeat to SPL strugglers Inverness, Naismith is adamant there is no chance of history repeating itself when Billy Reid's men come calling.
"I was still in nappies at the time so I don't remember too much about it," he said.
"It's been mentioned a little bit and I read about it in the Rangers News this week.
"We don't want that happening to us and, after the result on Wednesday, we definitely won't be complacent."
For Ally McCoist, the memory of that third round tie, when Adrian Sprott grabbed a famous winner, is still all too clear in the memory.
"It's still a grey day, it really is," admitted the Rangers assistant boss, who will take charge of team affairs this weekend, which is usual for Scottish Cup games.
"I can look back and wince with pain. When you play at a club like Rangers, you remember the defeats more than the victories.
"I had a lot more victories but the defeats hurt.
"I can remember Hamilton knocking us out the cup by scoring a well-documented goal. We battered them from pillar to post that day but couldn't score.
"It was a sore one. I look back and it is a sore memory but it doesn't do you any harm.
"It's how you react and hopefully that was a one-off and Hamilton won't be doing that to us on Sunday."
The defeat to Hamilton was hardly the biggest shock witnessed by Scottish football but McCoist can understand why the game is still spoken about today.
He said: "It was a shock in the respect that it was just at the start of Rangers' revival, Graeme Souness had just come to the club and we had just signed Terry Butcher and Chris Woods.
"In terms of overall shocks, I wouldn't put it as high as some of them - although I would say that anyway. We were in the same division so you have to put it into perspective."
As far as the class of 2009 is concerned, defeat is not an option this time around.
"At Rangers you are in every competition to win it and that's the pressure that comes with being at such a big club," said Naismith.
"It's another game where the boys need to do well and put in a good performance. Obviously it's a must-win."
