With a simple model from the point of view of population synthesis we try to verify an interesting suggestion made by Pfahl & Rappaport (2001) that dim sources in globular clusters (GCs) can be isolated accreting neutron stars (NSs). Simple estimates show, that we can expect about 0.5-1 accreting isolated NS per typical GC with $M=10^5 M_{\odot}$ in correspondence with observations. Properties of old accreting isolated NSs in GCs are briefly discussed. We suggest that accreting NSs in GCs experienced significant magnetic field decay.
